Elise watched Ethan carefully as he stood at the counter, a satisfied look in her eyes. Her read was probably right: this player did have some talent that let him stay clear-headed.
He was exactly the kind of person she needed. If nothing went wrong, she could get him to help her finish her transformation.
It wasn't only players who had talents. People like her, who were different from players, also had all kinds of talents.
Hers was very special—an Orange-quality talent called [Lust]. Through physical and mental pleasure, she could keep growing stronger, and she could use the scent she gave off to control any creature that felt desire for her.
With a talent like this, she didn't need to fight monsters to get stronger. It was clearly very powerful.
But there were some drawbacks. When she used the talent, she herself would sink into pleasure, lose her reason, and become very weak. Also, the [Lust] talent needed to go through transformations.
